Children with autism tend to avoid eye contact. This not only hinders their learning, but also makes them appear different. Training in eye contact is thus very important. 1. The teacher and the child sit face to face in a small chair. The teacher should have some reward items that the child really likes. 2. Every five (or ten) seconds in the unit, the teacher calls the child’s name and says “look at me”. As soon as the child sees the teacher’s eyes, the teacher immediately says, “Good look,” and gives an appropriate reward. 3. If the child does not respond to the instruction twice, the teacher may pause for 5 seconds, such as turning the head to look away, and then give the instruction again. 4.If the child does not respond again and again, the teacher should give assistance. The teacher can say “look at me” while holding a small piece of candy and slowly move it to the middle of the teacher’s eyes and the child’s eyes. As long as the child’s eyes shift with the candy bar and just see the teacher’s eyes, the teacher will give a reward. If the child is not looking at the teacher at this point, the teacher can also use her hand to gently lift the child’s face to look at the teacher to give assistance. 5.After the child can look at the teacher as instructed about ten times in a row, the teacher should slowly reduce the assistance. For example, gradually hide the candy bar in the teacher’s hand, or delay the time to give assistance, or only reward unaided eye contact, etc. 6. In order to increase the length of eye contact, gradually increase the length of time from when the child starts to look at the teacher to when the teacher gives the reward. The teacher can count to two, then to three, then to four, before giving the reward. 7. The teacher can then slowly increase the distance between himself and the child while doing the above training. The teacher can also extend this method to other occasions. For example, teach the child to increase eye contact during play.
